# Time-crystal ground state and production of gravitational waves from QCD phase transition

## TL;DR

This paper proposes a new mechanism where oscillations during the QCD phase transition produce detectable gravitational waves in radio frequencies, offering a novel observational window into early Universe physics.

## Contribution

It introduces a unique process linking QCD phase transition dynamics to gravitational wave production, which can be observed by upcoming radio telescopes.

## Key findings

- Primordial gravitational wave signal with multiple peaks.
- Signal detectable by FAST and SKA telescopes.
- Connection between QCD phase transition and gravitational wave background.

## Abstract

We propose a novel mechanism for the production of gravitational waves in the early Universe that originates from the relaxation processes induced by the QCD phase transition. While the energy density of the quark-gluon mean-field is monotonously decaying in real time, its pressure undergoes a series of violent oscillations at the characteristic QCD time scales that generates a primordial multi-peaked gravitational waves' signal in the radio frequencies' domain. The signal as an echo of the QCD phase transition, and is accessible by the FAST and SKA telescopes.
